TSS Two Chassis Super DAC

Very different mindsets.

I come from a racing background and riding a high-performance bike well is its own reward. One stops only briefly for for fuel, to rehydrate, to quickly eat.

The average Harley rider is trundling along to the next bar or other social event.

Nothing wrong with either, just very different.

(I honestly do want to know why Harley Herds are so offended when they are passed. To me it is just weird. If you want to go faster, pass.)

I think itā€™s just group dynamic and peer pressureā€¦ just as if a Harley biker passes a group of (parking) race bikersā€¦ I guess they wouldnā€™t be quiet either :wink:

Well,wellā€¦look whoā€™s playing nice with Dā€™Agostino in the sandbox.:sunglasses:

Have you bought the Dā€™Agostino ?

LOL Dirkā€¦Iā€™m to poor for that my friend. Itā€™s from this ad on US Audio Mart.

I did see the logo on the bottom right corner but I just thought you had treated yourself. Just rob a bank if you havenā€™t enough in your own accountā€¦!

Or maybe Brodric insteadā€¦:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

He possibly has one he no longer uses just to keep the shed door open on a windy dayā€¦ :grinning:

UGLY! Why do they think this looks nice?

So true. I guess some of the beholders are cross eyed!

Good Oneā€¦:sunglasses::grinning:

Coming from a metal working background and knowing the intricacies of the art of fabrication and machiningā€¦ this casing work is quite franklyā€¦ a work of art of the highest degreeā€¦ Besidesā€¦beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

Certainly excellent craftsmanship, regardless of whether the design has any appeal.

There is no getting away from the craftsmanship and intricacies of the buildā€¦ A substantial product. A very distinctive piece of work ! Not to my liking, but to each his ownā€¦ā€¦ā€¦.!

" Just used 10 times" It is that enough to actually evaluate the SQ?
The seller doesnā€™t even say why its for sale?

Itā€™s a shame the result of all the impressive craftsmanship is so hideous. Just because you canā€¦

Not that it directly shows craftmanship (or the lack thereof) but hereā€™s a picture of the boards talking:

The coil on the scopes is a 10 meter optical cable. The 3" silver/blue/black cylinder with a white cable connecting it to the board by the laptop is the real time debugger for the processor. The fun part is that if I single step the code the analog card mutes since it canā€™t see the digital :slight_smile: That took some time to figure out, Ooops.

Too early for critical tests (or even measuring), but it is nice to have (intermittent) audio: software bugs are causing periodic hash, etcā€¦ but itā€™s nice to get something other that just scope traces.

My workspace is hardly ever that clean, but I sure donā€™t need anything shorting the boards out on the bottomā€¦

Aesthetically, I prefer Tedā€™s current version of the TSS to the Dā€™Agostino Momentum Integrated above.

OMG ā€¦ an on-topic append!!! Ted ā€¦ thank you very much for the update. Itā€™s fun to watch how you are proceeding through the design process.
